Here's how it works. I am reluctant to ever sell my hard work for lower prices. I don't like not getting paid what I feel I'm worth. But I do like getting shiny, beautiful things! So I am usually happy to trade fursuits, plushes, and other custom artwork for any of the shiny objects I'm currently collecting. I will trade twice the value of a given object, effectively making this a half price deal for you, however I reserve the right to determine value myself. Nearly all of the time the price you paid for it will be the value of the object, but I don't want to get penalized because you overpaid for something that's not actually worth very much. Just have to put that little caveat in there to keep that from happening. Generally it's a good idea to contact me before going out and purchasing an item to trade. Here's a list of what I'm after at the moment.
Silver
This one is easy. I want silver bullion. Preferably 1oz .999 fine silver rounds, but I will accept other forms of silver. It must be fine silver, not sterling silver though, and I won't accept jewelry. But silver coins, bars, and wire are all acceptable. I value silver at the current market value, which you can find at CNN's commodities page. Just scroll down.
Silver can be purchased in a variety of places, including on line, but I generally recommend purchasing locally. Coin shops do usually have a markup, so the price will be slightly more than listed online, but they don't charge shipping, so you're still ahead of the game.
Windstone Editions Statues
Fledgling dragons in emerald peacock, silver, copper patina, or red fire.
Poads in any color except butternut and black peacock, which I already have.
(The Windstone store is often out of stock, but most areas have a local collectibles store that carries Windstones, and they are also frequently sold on ebay.)
ANY Secret Keeper, OOAK/limited or not. I will make a full suit, with unlimited options, Or a giant plushie of any sort, in return for ANY Secret Keeper dragon.
A wolf pelt.
Must be legally obtained. Must also be tanned, and not greasy or smelly. :) Does not need to be complete or perfect, so long as the back fur is in good condition. Please be prepared to provide photos.
Pokemon Plushes.
I collect specific Japanese pokemon plushes. The list of exactly which ones I'm looking for changes often, so you'll need to contact me. I probably do not want your childhood collection, though if you have Eevee/Eevee evolution plushes I might be interested. Please contact me if you're interested in trading these items.
Professional quality drawing.
I am not kidding when I say professional quality. If you draw as a hobby/make a small amount of money with your drawings, you are probably not the skill level I'm looking for. I draw myself, so if I want amateur drawings I can produce my own, I'm only interested in trading for art that is significantly better than my own skill level in drawing. I'm pretty decent, so anybody who is that much better than me is probably making a significant portion of their income from art.
